Scorched Lands: A Weird Western Adventure

Dry Bone

Dry Bones reside in special places where many creatures or people have died at the time of the Scorching. They are usually skeletons that are formed from the atomized particles of dust. They reassemble themselves into half formed shapes and may mix up limbs or reform deformed. Usually though they are humanoid and can be described as pale, unkempt madmen. Though they show no signs of intelligence aside from the use of weapons. They cannot be killed however they can be temporarily disintegrated into dust. One way of ‘reducing’ the numbers of the Dry Bones is to collect the dry bone dust and keep it in an airtight container and running the hell away. Dry Bones are unable to pass an arbitrary boundary and when their dust is carried beyond this boundary, the dust cannot reform.
